Kaia F.I.T.

Kaia F.I.T. is a women’s fitness and nutrition program built around a core strengthening program. With busy lives and a limited amount of time for exercise, Kaia F.I.T. has developed a simple but creative workout program that engages women in different ways each day. Oakland’s Kaia Fit was founded by Mary McQueen in 2009, with the goal of helping moms get their pre-pregnancy bodies back. As her business started to grow beyond that mission, she came to Pacific Community Ventures. We paired her with volunteer advisor Alison Sizer, who worked with her on strategy, marketing, pricing strategy (how many classes at what price), and managing the HR implications of multiple locations. The result? Her business has since grown over 50%!
